The Size Of The Universe


Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “The universe
compared to Allah’s kursi (footrest) is like a ring in a desert. And
Allah’s kursi compared to His ursh (throne) is like a ring in a
desert.” [Ibn Hibban, Ibn Abi Hatim]

The size of our planet earth compared to the size of the universe is
like a grain of sand compared to the size of the earth. Now read again
how the size of the universe compares to Allah’s kursi and His ursh!

When we consider Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) as our Creator and the
Creator and Maintainer of the entire universe, when we consider
revelation to have come from Him, of what value is our opinion and
intellect against His? Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) as our Creator knows
our nature best and has graciously informed us which laws are ideal
for us, so we can live by Divine Guidance and avoid the pain of trial
and error.

When mines are planted, mine maps are made. Mine maps help the army
that has the mine map to safely cross the mine field themselves. Allah
(subhana wa ta'ala) has sent us the Quran as a mine map, so that we
may safely cross the mine field of life. But our ignorance and
arrogance are such, that we wish to negotiate this mine field with no
regard to the mine map!
